A review by athousandgreatbooks
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

5.0

Yep! Just epic. Don't know what else to say. Extremely well written. Haunting, harrowing, horrific! The thing with classics (though not all) is that they have the backing of time (and, by extension, of people's tastes through the years) as evidence and proof of their value. And by God! It's a damn high water mark. Why do people even bother writing books if they're not up to such standards? You won't be Conrad, surely. But at least try? Maybe you could be.
Anyway, fuck all that. This book is a gem. No, it's an education. And I've been a philistine all this while for not reading it.
